Open House CANCELED! Property is now pending. (Access property from the back on Hickory Lane;)
Welcome to 522 Pike Street in Lemont—a fully reimagined home where thoughtful design, serious efficiency, and an unbeatable location come together. Lemont is one of those rare places that still feels like a small village, yet you’re just three miles from downtown State College and Penn State, under a mile to PA Route 322, and minutes from everyday conveniences including Walmart, Sam’s Club, ALDI, and the newer Giant Food Store on South Atherton. It’s a location that works effortlessly for students, professionals, investors, Penn State footballers, and anyone who wants close proximity to the university without giving up neighborhood charm.
The home itself was completely renovated in 2025–2026 with an emphasis on quality, comfort, and long-term performance. Inside, everything feels intentional—from the new hickory kitchen with soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless KitchenAid appliances, to the commercial-grade luxury vinyl plank flooring that’s quiet underfoot thanks to the padded underlayment. The upstairs bathroom was rebuilt with a new granite-topped vanity and a freshly tiled shower, while structural improvements in the basement allowed for cleaner lines and better use of space throughout the home.
Behind the walls is where this property truly separates itself. Closed-cell spray foam insulation brings the exterior walls to R-26.25, the attic is insulated to R-49, and multiple Mitsubishi mini-split heat pump zones provide efficient, room-by-room comfort. A new 200-amp electrical service, updated plumbing and electrical systems, radon mitigation already in place, and new LED lighting throughout add peace of mind. The basement has been thoughtfully improved with relocated stairs for better headroom, an added LVL beam engineered by a structural professional, a washer and dryer hookup in the downstairs bath, and a new exterior door leading directly outside. The garage features new openers and is already positioned for an easy future EV hookup.
Outside, years of problematic landscaping have been cleared away to create a cleaner, more manageable setting that lets the home and lot breathe. The result is a property that feels fresh, efficient, and ready for modern living—set in one of the most convenient and quietly charming pockets of the State College area. This is one you’ll want to see in person to fully appreciate how well it all comes together.
